Arnob studied at Patha Bhavana and MFA in Kala Bhavana, Visva Bharati, Santiniketan.
He has released five solo albums. The first album was Chaina Bhabish and the second Hok Kolorob. Third and fourth are Doob and Rod Boleche Hobe respectively. A combination of poetic lyrics and sophisticated melodies has earned Arnob a large fan-base among Bangladesh’s music listeners.
Hok Kolorob is the second solo album of this celebrated fusion artist. This album consists of songs that Arnob had written during his years at Shantiniketan. This album contains lyrics written by his wife Shahana Bajpai, and the songs are comparatively more melodic and simple in structure compared to his debut album Chaina Bhabish, which had a lot of experimentation. Among the big hits of Hok Kolorob are: Tomar Jonno, Tui Ki Janishna 2, Hok Kolorob, Tor Jonno, Bhalobasha Tar Por, etc
Arnob released his third studio album Doob in April of 2008. He collaborated with Sahana Bajpai, Saad, the MAk, Zohad, Andrew, Idris rahman etc. His distinct style and indie tune is still the core of this album but the studio produced sound may have its fair share of criticism. In 2012 his album Rod Boleche Hobe was a big hit which spouned hits like Ke Ami, Chithi Pathao, Protiddhoni, Ami Jodi, Biri, Megh Fete Geche, Iniye Biniye.
Arnob released his fifth solo album "Adheko Ghume'' in June 2012 which has 12 Rabindra Sangeet.

Arnob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kon deshete gela uuira-re
Diya more phanki
Amar shonar moyna paakhi
Shona boron pakhire amar
Kajol boron ankhi
Diba-nishi mon chayre
Baindha tore rakhi
Deho dichi pranore dichi
Aar nai kichu banki
Shoto phooler bhushon diyare
Onge dichi makhi
Amar shonar moyna paakhi
Jaiba jodi nithur pakhi
Bhashaiya more ankhi
E jibon jabar kaal-ere
Ekbar jeno mdekhi-re
Amar shonar moyna paakhi
The lyrics to Arnob's song "Monpura Theme" depict a deep longing for a loved one who has flown away like a golden cuckoo bird (shonar moyna paakhi). The singer laments the separation and expresses a desire to have their beloved back in their life. The metaphorical language used in the lyrics evokes a sense of melancholy and yearning.
The song starts with the singer asking which country their golden cuckoo bird has flown to, as they light a lamp and prepare a swing for the bird. The lyrics convey a sense of devotion and dedication to the beloved, symbolized by the golden feathers and the kohl-lined eyes. The singer declares that they have given their body and soul to the beloved, leaving nothing else behind. They adorn the bird with a hundred flowers, attracting bees, and hope that the bird will return to their life.
The second stanza reveals a hint of bitterness and resignation if the beloved flies to a distant, heartless place. The singer beseeches their eyes not to shed tears, as they wish to see their beloved before the end of their life. They hope for a glimpse of the golden cuckoo bird one more time, a moment that would make their life complete.
Overall, the lyrics depict a deep longing for a lost love and a fervent desire for reunion. The use of the golden cuckoo bird as a metaphor adds a poetic and evocative touch to the emotions expressed in the song.

আমার সোনার ময়না পাখি
কোন দেশেতে গেলা উইড়া রে
দিয়া মোরে ফাঁকি রে
আমার সোনার ময়না পাখি ।।
সোনা বরণ পাখিরে আমার
কাজল বরণ আঁখি
দিবানিশি মন চায়রে
বাইন্ধা তরে রাখি রে
আমার সোনার ময়না পাখি ।।
দেহ দিছি প্রাণরে দিছি
আর নাই কিছু বাকী
শত ফুলের বাসন দিয়ারে
অঙে দিছি মাখি রে
আমার সোনার ময়না পাখি ।।
যাইবা যদি নিঠুর পাখি
ভাসাইয়া মোর আঁখি
এ জীবন যাবার কালে রে
ও পাখি রে
একবার যেন দেখি রে
আমার সোনার ময়না পাখি ।।

I Was in Bangkok last week and went to Art and Culture Centre.
From 4th floor i started hearing this Song and it was pulling me.
This song was playing part of one installation. :)
Am from Kerala, so couldnt understand the language first but i kind of got a similarity to Bengali.
So i recorded it and send it to my sister, and she said its a Bangla Folk Song.
Reached back to India and here am listening this song in loop. :)

আমার মা এই গান টা খুব ভালো গাইতো।মন খারাপ হলেই মকে বলতাম গানটা শুনাও,
মা মারা গেছেন দেড় বছর হলো।
অনেক মন খারাপ হলেও সেই সুরটা আর কোথাও খুজে পাইনা।
